Here's my Valuable TIP:-

DON'T PLAY TO MANY HANDS

If you think about it you are not gonna get a premium hand to play with everytime. Players will limp in with hands like "5/6 Suited" and them get raised 4xBB and they end up calling it and missing the FLOP. Just think, the more times you do this, the more CHIPS you are losing due to BAD (DONKEY) PLAY.

the best poker advice i ever recieved was on here and once on pitbull. PATIENCE PATIENCE PATIENCE. i have realized that you cant force a hand. you have to have patience. overly aggressive players get burned. One big burn and they go tilt. Too tight and you get blinded out. PAtience and pay attention to your opponents. And to pound it into my head do not chase. sometimes it works normally it burns you.





Thanks to the advice givers here and abroad.

I would also say patience is the key that and dont play every hand there is to play.

When you're in late position King Queen rules in the unraised pot.... It's paid dividends for me try implementing it a few times see if you get the same results.

The most valuable tip, huh?

Be competitive, with class.

A few...

If you are first to open, raise, never call.

Play the players, not the cards.

Scared money never wins.

But the most helpful to me, checkers and callers never win consistently. I didn't realize until I thought about this that I had bet myself out of so many pots by checking after betting, or just calling, or just checking. I have made more money by betting and folding to re-raises than checking and calling every hand to death.

The execption would be when your at a loose table and you plan to reraise.

You don't know what the players are holding so the best way to determine what you need to do is to be able to read the players. Some of the common things that players will do is when they hold something good they want to act like they don't have anything good so there they will just push in chips on and out; it's kind of like just slide them in and then they will not really say anything. They kind of do it with as little noise as possible. They are trying to hide a good hand. Other times if a player does not have a great hand at all, they will sometimes act like they will by throwing in chips more aggressively than they normally do and that is to hide the fact that they have a weak hand. Another thing they will do when they have a weak hand they want to appear strong is they will make a vocal expression like "Ah! I guess… I guess I will stay in this hand." That's kind of like a sympathy thing that works in reverse-on if you know how to read them. They are basically trying to act like they are just limping in and struggling, they have not had good cards come into them and really they are holding something strong. It is also known as chirp, anytime somebody says something like "okay I guess I will stay in." It is considered chirping, they are giving away more than they need to and the most common thing that you see everybody do when you are playing private games during five card draw. Say for example, they have a pair and they discard three cards the dealer gives him three new cards, after they get through three new cards 90% of the players are playing private games to do this. They will move their cards around basically they don't even realize that they are showing everybody else that they are matching up pairs or trips may be even four a kind and that's a good indicator that they at least have a pair or two of a kind. If they move more than one card they definitely have more than two of a kind and its something you see 90% of the time. Everyone does it without even thinking about it. So you should be aware of it too.
